The sixth-year outfielder technically had a down year in 2018. Springer was selected to his second consecutive All-Star game but his average fell to .265 and power (22 home runs, 71 RBIs, .780 OPS) dropped.

With Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and Alex Bregman on the mend, the Astros are counting on another big year from their now-healthy veteran outfielder.

“Work on your failures and success and go from there,” said Springer, describing his offseason focus.
